Deep in the credits under "Camera Trainees" can be seen Alfie Oldman, Gary Oldman's son
Plot
Follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve as a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes..
He's worked on several movies that Gary starred in
Featured in Graham Norton i gosti: Kristin Scott Thomas/George Takei/Claudia Winkleman/Jamie Oliver/First Aid Kit (2022).
Gary Oldman plays the quintessential crusty old curmudgeon, an MI5 spy left over from the Cold War (and ostracised to Slough House), still parrying at shadows, and seeing real threats before anyone elseThis is stylised Cold War spy craft in a modern setting – and it's a very satisfying watch
Another well-realised show that creates its immediate world with details of environment, character (and subterfuge) – the indispensable building blocks of good story telling.If you're just coming upon this show now that season 2 is released you should do yourself a favour and binge season 1 first – it's a good yarn and will offer a depth of character and situation that will add to your enjoymentSeason 2 appears to have lifted the game in terms of production design and cinematography – it's really paid off and elevated the show above the usual weekly episodic grind TV.Highly recommended – Oldman and Kristin Scott-Thomas are terrific, as are Jack Lowden and Saskia Reeves.
